Board games?

Being trapped in the house has led to us playing every game we have 10,000 times each.

Any suggestions for fun board game for a 5 year old and 7 year old? I’m desperate!!

My mom plays war with my daughter and then you only need cards. We’ve also done go fish and old maid (can make the joker old maid).

My kids like connect 4 and they love puzzles.

I’ve seen indoor/outdoor scavenger hunts online.

Re: Board games?

Take an existing game and let them each make one rule change. Connect 4 is now Connect 5. Instead of 2 dice, you use either 1 or 3. Pick 2 cards instead of 1. etc, etc...

Then, play with the new rules and see how it changes the game.

Re: Board games?

Cards against humanity [family edition] is downloadable now. We printed and cut out all the cards. If your kids are reading, it is a lot of fun. Fart-joke fun ;)
